| Digital XLO signature RCA cable : Changing one end to BNC Have XLO do the re-termination for and the Oyaide BNC is a very good connector. If your system is sufficiently resolving, you'll definitely hear the deleterious effects of the adapter. My experience with the Cardas xlr-to-rca adapters showed them... | |
| Should I Keep my Second CD Player? Sell both players and pick up a Modwright Oppo BDP 105. I had the older BDP 83SE modified by Modwright and it was a very musical player. Suppose the 105 would be even beter. | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass The Oyaide 004 can accept a large gauge wire. I've doubled up on cables before, inserting 2 power cables into a single pair of 004 plugs, twisting the cables around each other. This has created a warmer, fuller sound using some vintage silver pl... | |
| Digital coax cables I had the AZ MC2 and it's a pretty good digital cable. My transport, a Bel Canto CDT 3, uses a bnc connection so I shopped around for a cable with bnc on one end and rca on the other and found, built by Take 5 Audio of Canada, a Neotech NEVD 200... | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? Most of my power cords are of the DIY persuasion and I have a nice stash of Oyaide 046 and 004 plugs. I bought a few hundred feet of rather good silver plated solid core copper wire some years ago and have built several power cords of varying len... | |
| Best dealer on Ebay to purchase authentic new Oyaide products from alucard19---the war audio store is exactly what I'm looking for. Great price! Thanks for turning me on to them. | |
| Best dealer on Ebay to purchase authentic new Oyaide products from The US dealers are charging around $300 for a set and I need 2 sets for a retermination project. And the cable manufacturer is charging $350 for the service so..... really would like to get the xlr plugs as cheap as possible and I've bought Oya... | |
| with Pathos Classic One MKIII Hybrid Integrated Amplifier I have a large but quite efficient pair of custom/DIY loudspeakers similar to Legacy Focus in design using Eton drivers. I had driven the satellite section of these speakers (tweeter/midrange/mid-bass drivers) with a 45w SET, JAS Array 2.1 and a ... | |
| Oyaide P004 and C004 plugs I had the Furutech FI-25 G briefly and was not impressed. I had several of IeGO plugs at that time, including their gold plug, and found the IeGO's all better, preferable, to the FI-25. I did a lot of mixing with plugs, blending the sound of eac... | |
| Oyaide P004 and C004 plugs Which Furutech plugs did you have? I use several of the 004 Oyaides in my system. They are quite neutral but hide nothing. I had the Oyaide 046 before and thought the 004 were a bit aggressive when I first installed them. That changed pretty q... | |
| Raised Towers I have a pair of older Genesis Genre I in a secondary system. They are sloped back, which should tip the soundstage up but I always felt the images were lower than natural. I put them on cinder blocks in my previous apartment and this did improv... | |
| In search of a touch of darkness I asked a similar question a while back and was told PAD/ Purist Audio Design cables have a darker sound. I never tried them so can't comment from experience but you might look into their cables. | |
| Has anyone used Smart Imports of Japan? Thanks mwh777! | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project mbolek & nationalbar : Either of you try the AECO rhodium xlrs? I do prefer good rhodium plugs to silver ones, at least on power cords. My experience with up-market xlr plugs is limited. I do have the Acoustic Revives rhodiums on a pa... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project mbolek: Glad to see someone has first-hand experience with the silver AECO xlr plugs. What are your general impressions, and do you have any other known xlr plugs to compare them to? Any shortcomings? Their price makes them attractive option... |
